    That has gone miles, ricocheting off the stand.

  2. 6 runs

    Eng 147-3

    Absolutely nailed.

    Eoin Morgan comes down the track and whacks Wanindu Hasaranga over his head.

    He didn't get to the pitch of the ball but the power. wow.

  3. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I think he will. It's only three balls.

  4. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    Can he get to that hundred?

  5. Eng 141-3

    A single apiece for Jos Buttler and Eoin Morgan ends the over.

    Buttler is now on 86, his highest score in T20 internationals. A century is within touching distance.

    Him and Morgan have now put on 106 from 79 balls by the way. Magnificent.

  6. Eng 139-3

    Four more!

    Dasun Shanaka strays down the leg side and Jos Buttler flicks it to the fine leg boundary.

  7. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    This is now the highest individual score of the tournament.

  8. 6 runs

    Eng 135-3

    A Jos Buttler century is definitely on here.

    Dasun Shanaka goes full and Buttler just effortlessly plonks him back the ground.

    He is so so good. He's up to 81 and it is the highest-individual score at this World Cup.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    As soon as Buttler swings his bat you know it's gone.

  10. 6 runs

    Eng 129-3

    Short and whacked over mid-wicket by Jos Buttler for another six.

    He's up to 75. He's got 16 balls left here - is a century possible?

  11. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    England will be thinking 160. Sri Lanka will be thinking about keeping them under 150.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on BBC Test Match Special

    This feels like a good score mounting, given the conditions.

  13. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka are desperate for a wicket - to get a new guy at the crease who takes a few balls to get going.

  14. Eng 122-3

    Jos Buttler is not happy at umpire Rod Tucker here. He wants a wide, but Tucker is saying he moved across. He did, but he was still stretching to get anywhere near the ball.

    More brilliant fielding saves at least one run for Sri Lanka as Eoin Morgan drives away.

  15. Eng 120-3

    Good fielding.

    Jos Butter crunches away a skidding drive and Avishka Fernando does brilliantly to keep his balance and stay within the boundary rope after running round from long-off.

  16. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    That is a great shot - a really difficult ball to hit for six. Slammed in, neck height, and he has managed to swivel on that and put everything behind it.

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 116-3

    Vintage Eoin Morgan.

    Dushmantha Chameera drops short and Morgan powers away a pull shot.

    It hits the roof before coming down. He's up to a run-a-ball 30 now.

  18. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    This is good stuff from the captain - he has mixed up his lengths well.

  19. Eng 110-3

    Buttler 66, Morgan 24

    If you want a job doing sometimes you just have to do it yourself, right? That is the approach Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka has decided to take anyway.

    It is a good over too with just five runs added. That has pulled some control back for Sri Lanka.

    Jos Buttler is by far the leading run-scorer in the Super 12s stage of this tournament now by the way. He's been brilliant again today.

  20. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Sri Lanka have moved away from what worked in the first 10 overs. They used the pitch a lot more and then as soon as they've been put under pressure, they've gone full. It is frustrating to see.
